I failed to note in my previous post that I had also played around with preferences in Rhythmbox in order to fix this problem. I have done some more testing and found that uninstalling gstreamer0.10-plugins-sdl and restarting does not reproduce the error.
I have found that the following steps fixes the error: In Rhythmbox go to "Edit" and then "Preference"s. Choose the "Playback" tab. Under "Player Backend" tick the box for "Use crossfading backend (requires restart)". Then quit Rhythmbox. Launch Rhythmbox and you should then be able to play mp3 files stored on your mp3 device. To reproduce the error: If you untick the box for "Use crossfading backend" and quit and restart Rhythmbox then when you try to play an mp3 file from the mp3 player the file will not play and the error "No file name specified for reading" will be received. -- Ubuntu 9.10 Rhythmbox will not play mp3 files stored on my Samsung MTP device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
